If you delete the device from your inventory the asset is retained. If you want to continue tracking the assets tickets and such, you just have to make sure the asset is assigned the ticket as well as the device.

This would be a great thing. We are currently using two databases. Our kbox for current inventory and an access database to track old assets. It would be nice to be able to have the history of items and be able to retain it without counting against our license count.

Add this definitely, and make it drop off the agent license count when retired so I can provision that license for something else. I'd like the option to put it back into service as well. Sometimes we replace a machine and decommission the old one, only to find out that there was something on the old machine that needs to still be used, so we have to put it back into service while we move whatever it was over.
